This patch cleans up the kconfig options for the pnp subsystem.  It
updates the comments and makes pnpbios proc support an optional
feature.

This patch adds some aditional information to sysfs for pnp cards.  It
should be useful for userland tools.

This patch updates the matching code to ensure that all requested
devices are present on the card, even if they are in use.  It is
necessary for some ALSA drivers to work properly because early vendors
would have different sets of devices on the same card ids.  It is from
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

This patch updates file2alias.c to support pnp ids.  It is from
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

This patch moves the PnP ID declarations to mod_devicetable.h like
most of the other buses.  It is from Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

Recently many PnPBIOS bugs have been triggered by static resource
information requests.  This patch makes an effort to further avoid
making them.

Some PnPBIOSes do not follow the specifications with regard to
disabling devices.  This patch preserves the tag bits, while zeroing
the resource settings.  Previously we would zero the entire buffer.
It has been tested and appears to correct the issue while remaining
compatible with unbroken PnPBIOSes.

This patch reorganizes resource flags to ensure that manual resource
settings are properly recognized.  This fix is necessary for many ALSA
drivers.  It also prevents comparisons between unset resource
structures.  The bug was discovered by Rene Herman
<rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>, who also wrote an initial version of this
patch.  I made further improvements to ensure that the pnp subsystem 
was compatible with this initial change.

The serial driver currently fails to unregister its pnp driver upon
module unload.  This patch corrects the problem by calling
pnp_unregister_driver and implementing a proper remove function.

The rpciod shutdown code gives ugly sleep_on without BKL warnings in
-mm.  And it looks indeed somewhat racy.

The easy fix would be to simply use a completion as in the patch below,
but that removes all the signal fuzzing semantics the current code has.
I don't really understand why we want to cancel the operation by
signals, but I think it'd be better to leave that to people familar with
the code anyway..

This patch fixes an Oops when unloading the driver.  Bug fix.  Please
consider this for inclusion.

All of the patches sent out are needed to get the driver in the 2.6 tree up
to the level of the driver that is in the 2.4 tree, excluding this patch
which is not required in 2.4.

More patches will be coming.  They include multi-path failover support,
support for more than 8 controllers, and msi support.  Presently working on a
per logical volume queueing scheme.

This patch uses the pci_module_init wrapper for hot plug cases.  It is in the
2.4.  tree.

From: mikem@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net

This patch changes the way we fill out the /proc files we create.  It now has
human readable volume sizes, RAID levels, etc.  Also removes some fields that
were orginally for debug purposes.  This is in the 2.4 tree.

From: mikem@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net

This patch changes a format specifier to unsigned to prevent the number of
blocks being displayed as a negative value on very large volumes.

From: mikem@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net

This patch replaces reading directly form PCI config space where possible.
Most of what we need is in the pdev struct.  This is in 2.4.

This patch moves the check of the controller to before trying to enable it.
If a controller is disabled the system will Oops without this fix.  This in
the 2.4 tree.

This patch addresses a bug in the ASIC on the 6400 series controllers.  When
prefetching from host memory we grab an extra 750 or so bytes of data.  If
this occurs on a memory boundary the machine will MCA.  This bug affects IPF
and Alpha based platforms.  It is not known to be a problem on x86.

Prefetch will be disabled via the f/w.  We need to enable it on x86 to
address a _big_ performance hit on RAID 1 operations.

It is in the 2.4 tree.
